I honestly do not have a favorite cookbook, but I do have a favorite decorating book. Hello! Cupcake and What's New Cupcake? are my two favorite cupcake books. I also love Bakerella's cake pop book. I have a couple of cookie books that I need to pull out and play with.

Wow - it's hard to think of 1 favorite cookbook :) I love anything by Rachel Ray and I would love to have a copy of your cookbook. The cookies you are showing on this site are amazing!! (I love the cameos :)

Thank you for the opportunity to win such a glorious book. Right now I think my favorite cookbook is Taste of Home. Although I'm sure I have waaaay too many books and magazines. OBTW those cookie pictures tell me I would have the book for inspiration, not necessarily for execution :)

The pictures leave me almost speechless! My favorite cookbooks are Taste of Home, and then there's River Road, and then....well, can I just say I love cookbooks even though I probably have more than the law allows. It would be great if I could have a copy of this book at least for inspiration!

I can't pick just one! But the ones I like the most are the cookbooks that churches and local organizations put together. A lot of those recipes have been in families for generations so you know they're tried and true!

All I have are recipes handwritten by my mom and grandma (and me, in a couple of cases) on little note cards, tucked away in a drawer.

I'd love to have that book, though. Baking cookies is my favorite past time, and those cookies are just gorgeous! Those are so insanely detailed, I'm having a hard time believing they're really cookies.

My all time favorite cookbook is called Grandaughter's Inglenook by Brethren Press. Have several versions of this from the 1930's or before to more recently. Has basic cooking, group cooking, international dishes, invalid cooking and all things in between. Original one I got was a gift from my mom and I inherited others from her

My favorite one is "Tried and True" recipes from my church. I know the contributors and if I have a quetion, I can just call them up. I would love to add yours to my favs. I sure hope I win. Thanks for the opportunity.

Mine is actually a homemade one. Instead of a wedding shower when I got married 3 years ago...my bridesmaids made a cookbook for me. They emailed/called all my relatives and friends and asked them to send their favorite recipes. Then they printed it in a spiral bound adorable book with a picture of me and my husband on the front, and it says "Eat, Drink, and Be Married". How cute is that? And the best part is all the recipes inside are tried and true so they are like pre-reviewed!

Right now my favorite cookbook is actually the food network magazine....I sit and look at the pictures & my mouth waters and I never make any of the stuff because it involves way too much time & energy....but dream about someday when I might get the energy!!

I tend to favor Italian cuisine so my current go to cookbook is The Glorious Pasta of Italy, which I happened to have won in a contest right after I returned from a 10 day trip to Italy! Buon appetito!

I recently got rid of most of my cookbook collection because I rely so much on the internet for recipes. I love reading reviews and comments before I try a recipe, so I rely heavily on allrecipes and similar sites when I am looking for something new to try. I do occasionally go back to my Taste of Home annual cookbooks, though.

What a beautiful looking book! Amazing! I use AllRecipes.com for most of my recipes (I use the app on my iPad), but for my go to print cookbook, I use the Bridal Edition of Betty Crocker's Cookbook I got as a gift when I got married. It's got many basic recipes and reference material in it that I flip to whenever I have a question or need some inspiration.

Those cookies are amazing! I don't know if I'm good enough to make that level of cookie art, but I'd sure like to try! :) My favorite cookbook is La Vera Cucina Italiana because it was sent to me by a lovely Italian friend who wanted me to be able to recreate some of the wonderful meals we had together in Venice.

Wow!!! Its so hard to choose my favorite cookbook! If I had to choose one favorite though, it would have to be our family cookbook :) All of the "secret recipes" that have been passed down through the years are always my favorite to make. :)

I think my favorite right now has to be Milk and Cookies by Tina Casaceli. I love trying different cookie recipes and each section in her book starts with a cookie base and then adds to it in each different recipe.

This cookies are amazing!! And my favorite cookbook now is a Southern Living book my family had bought for me during their trip to Savannah, Georgia. It's old. Like '04-'08 but the recipes are fantastic and quite a step up from the old Disney Family cookbook. :)

This book looks fabulous - thanks for the heads up of it being published. My long-time favorite cookbook is the Harrowsmith Cookbook which is all reader recipes that were tested in Harrowsmith's kitchen.

Thanks for the chance to win the book - I have to know how she does the peacock cookies! I will buy it for that alone.

I've recently started cooking my way through one of Rachael Ray's cookbooks, but I think deep down I'm still head over heels for The Flavor Bible. It's not really a cookbook, more of a reference really, but holy smokes is it awesome!

I'm such a foodie yet I don't know any cookbook. My mother have a couple but she never bothered to cook with them, nor my grandma ever did. I'm curios as to why they never used but I can't even tell why I never purchased any.

I love the guys at Baked and their cookbooks! I baked my way through the first one, Baked New Frontiers in Baking and now I'm starting on the second one Baked Explorations. I love their takes on classic desserts!!

Amazing! I could never create such works of art. My favorite cookbook is Cooking Light 1998 and the collection of recipes I keep in a 3-ring binder that my mom started my sister and I off with many, many years ago, for my holiday baking.

I just started cooking at a lot when I became a mother last year, and it's opened a whole new world to me! My favorite cookbook that I own right now is Paula Deen's "Bible". Born and raised in Texas, and now living further North - it's helped me stick to my roots. My picky family loves it too! Thank you for the consideration!

I have so many that I love but my most recent is "Sugar Baby" by Gesine Bullock Prado. Getting into the "sugar" thing is lots of fun and so far I've had success with everything I've made from the book.

Bridget, these are stunningly beautiful. Thank you for obtaining one to give away...to whoever wins! For my 'current' favorite cookbook, it would be the compilation I've made of the recipes shared by you and others. I have a binder with the NFSC recipe, LilaLoa's chocolate cookie recipe, your royal icing recipe (as well as Antonia's) and a few other recipes that have been posted in these beautiful blogs. These are what I am referring to constantly these days. Laura

Oh my gosh- those cookies are amazing! I'd love to win a copy, thanks for the chance. I don't really have a favorite cookbook that I use for cooking but I love to get those little ones put together by community groups or churches. Especially older ones- I just think they are the neatest things even if I never end up making anything out of them.

I'd LOVE to win this but i dont ever win anything lol. I dont normally use cook bookes. I dig around on the internet for recipes and tips and collect them in my own book for future reference once tried.

I have to say most of the time my favorite cookbook happens to be the one I am reading at the moment. Yes, I read cookbooks like other people read romance novels. I am currenly reading Baking Style, Art, Craft and Recipies and am LOVING it!

I don't have a favorite cook book but one of my favorite cookie books is Cookie Craft. I'm a cookier and would love to see more of the content of Julia Usher's new Ultimate Cookies. The peacock's are stunning along with the jewelry. Thanks for the opportunity to win this new book.

Hard to say one favorite cookbook. I love my Southern Living circa 1980's cookbooks for general recipes. The King Arthur Flour All Purpose Baking cookbook is another one of my go-to's. And for cookies I have Martha Stewart Cookies (and it is signed by Martha too).

I love BAke at 350... I decorate cookies often and use this as a learning site. I also love all the suggestions of cookbooks and will have to check out the Taste of Home book. My favorite (tough because I have over 500) is Mad Hungry by Lucinda Scalla Quinn. YUM. For baking cookbooks, I love the BAKED books as well as Sono Bakery book. Thanks for asking this question... I loved reading all the different favorite books and would love to win a copy of this book!

Wow! These cookies are stunning! I'm super impressed by the peacock cookie, I'd never imagine one to create such a master piece, but wow.. I'm speechless. I'd love to be able to learn how to create such amazing cookies like these one day

Wowza, those are some fancy cookies! I usually use the interwebs to cull recipes from bloggers I trust. I am currently reading/baking from Mielle, a lovely cookbook with scalloped edges from the bakery of the same name in SF.Thanks!

I have a few cookbooks, but I find myself always going back to the Better Homes and Gardens Red Plaid Cookbook, classic and really good recipes. I would love to win this bookrhe cookies look incredible and sure love to give them a try!!

That's a really tough question. I can't choose just one favorite! I've got over two bookshelves full of the things!! I do go to my Betty Crocker cookbooks mostly, though. :)sugarcookie.johnson@gmail.com

I have many favorite cook books because there is something special in all of them. But if I had to pick one it would have to be my mother in laws cook book! It is old. It is a Betty Crocker boook. It has memories! Plus you can never go wrong with Betty Crocker. Well maybe if the smoke alarm goes off. She does not mention that part. :))

I have a copy of my mom's "Good Housekeeping Cookbook". It's dated June 1956. One thing is for sure there is nothing "lite" about any recipts in this book. We made a cheese cake and it used 5 large packages of cream cheese! One of the best we've had.

Is it wrong that I dont have a favorite cookbook? More often than not I use websites like martha stewart, bhg, epicurious, and even MSN Food for great recipes. I do love Hello Cupcake, 1001 Cookies and Cakes, and Bakerella's Cake Pop books for inspiration though.

My obsession with cookies is rather new so I haven't dived into a sweet book yet but my favorite savory cookbook for inspiration would be the Zuni Cafe cookbook by Judy Rogers. Everything made from that is amazing.

I love cookbooks in general. I am always looking for new ideas to create things for my family. My favorite cookbooks have gorgeous photos for me to look at so that I know what my end product is supposed to look like.

I have several cookbooks, but the one I keep going back to was a bridal shower gift and the most practical thing. I use it so much that pages have fallen out and placed back in out of order, some are taped in place, other pages cannot be opened because food has glued them shut.

It is the basic Betty Crocker's New Cookbook, and I just happen to be looking up a recipe in it now as I read your blog!

Even with all the awesome cookbooks that come out now-a-days, I always find myself going back to the Purity Cookbook. I grew up with one in my house and its where the majority of my childhood cookie recipes hide.

Right now, I'm into "Small Batch Baking for Chocolate Lovers" by Debbie Maugans. The small batches are perfect when you don't need the temptation of 3 dozen cookies hanging around, but it's SOOO easy to whip up a dozen or so anytime the mood strikes!

Wow! Cookie masterpieces! My daughter loves anything with peacocks so I am going to show her that one for sure! As for my favorite cookbook, I am having trouble deciding between the one I just bought or the next one on my list!!! Really, I just bought one an hour ago. But I guess one of my true favorites are the binders I am organizing with all of the truly great recipes I find in places like this that I print out and keep and USE! ThanksKathryn

Oh dear me this is such a hard one...I have been collecting for a long time and have over 2000 cookbooks. If I had to only pick one it would be one I have been compiling of my own for years. If it was a published book would be Miette Bakery. Thanks for the chance to win a great book ~ I do have her other and it is an amazing book !!

WOW!!! Well I can honestly say, that I don't have one favorite cookbook. You see I love books and I have many, let me rephrase that dozens of cookbooks. Anything from a church fair cookbook to breads, desserts, candies. I think you see where this is going. So to be able to add another to my collection would be wonderful!!

One of my long-time favorites has been Chez Panisse Desserts, by Lindsey Shere. The book was a gift from my bf, and it reminds me of where we went to college together! Not to mention, all of her recipes are absolutely perfect CA-cuisine. :)

My favorite cookbook is a Betty Crocker cookbook that belonged to my Grandmother. I'm not sure how old it is, I'm guessing from the 60's or early 70's based on the pictures. It was obviously one of her favorites, she had made handwritten notes in the margins, made changes to some of the recipes and written warnings when a recipe is terrible :)

My favorite cookbook is a cookbook that our church sold like 20 years ago that my grandmother gave me. It has her handwriting in it all over with recipes to try and tips to make recipes better. I love it!

I received Sarabeth's Bakery: From My Hands to Yours from my husband for my birthday, so it's my current fave. I would LOVE to know how to make beautiful cookies like these though. I often think that the cookbook I happen to be using at the time is my favorite.

My favorite cookbook is actually one my parents made for me (and one for each sibling and older grandchildren) . It includes all the family favorites, passed down recipes, and ones we've made up. It's a treasury.

Hello!

Welcome to Bake at 350! I'm Bridget and I like all things sweet...especially cookie decorating. I hope you'll find some inspiration here. So, grab a chair (and a cookie) and let's get baking! [read more here >>]
